Electronic Arts confirmed that new titles are in development for both the Dead Space and Need for Speed franchises. While EA did not provide any additional details on either title, they did say that both were targeted for release by March 2013.

Rumors suggest that the Need for Speed title could be Need for Speed: Most Wanted 2, which would be a Criterion developed sequel to the surprise Need for Speed: Most Wanted hit, which helped turn the Need for Speed franchise in the right direction.

As for Dead Space, we don’t really know anything at all about Dead Space 3. While a number of rumors have suggested that the third installment might take place on a frozen planet, EA has never confirmed that this is the case.

With a targeted release date of March 2013, we suspect that EA is planning to give these two titles a lot of attention at E3.
